Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ stick butter
1 cup bread crumbs
4 tomatoes
⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced onion
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, or more if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir in bread crumbs until butter is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Slice off tops of tomatoes using a paring knife; make one long round incision in the centers to core. Stick a spoon in the cut and scoop out interior, reserving flesh, and leaving only the rinds.
  • Place 1/2 the scooped tomato flesh in a blender and pulverize to a liquid. Set aside 3 tablespoons to use; discard the rest.
  • Combine bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons reserved tomato pulp juice, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, onion, basil, parsley, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stuff mixture into cored tomatoes using a spoon. Place stuffed tomatoes on a baking sheet and tent with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese evenly on top of tomatoes. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and golden, about 10 minutes more.

This recipe was a disaster. The tomatoes were mushy and the filling was bland.

The tomatoes were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll cook them for less time next time.

I'm not usually a fan of stuffed tomatoes, but these were surprisingly good. The filling was light and fluffy, and the tomatoes were cooked perfectly.
